Join musicians from Scotland’s National Orchestra as they introduce you to their instruments in the Mitchell Library. They’ll show you their violins and cellos, demonstrate the beautiful sound they create and maybe even inspire you to try it for yourself. And thanks to We Make Music’s Instrument Libraries, you can borrow an instrument from the Mitchell Library for free, just like you take out a book, and give it a go.
Performances are on:
- Monday 16th November, 10am to 11am
- Tuesday 17th November, 2pm to 3pm
